US Airways Implementing GuestLogix Devices and Software
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
GuestLogix, a provider of on-board retail technology and solutions to
the airline industry, announced that US Airways, America's fifth
largest domestic carrier, has selected the GuestLogix Mobile Virtual
Store solution, comprising proprietary handheld devices and integrated
software services, to grow a la carte sales on-board its domestic and
international flights.
US Airways is undertaking a drive for revenue diversification with A la
Carte initiatives to offset the impact of high fuel prices on operating
margins. The GuestLogix solution will facilitate cash, credit and debit
card sales for US Airways In-Flight Cafe and A la Carte beverage menu.
US Airways aims to have the GuestLogix solution fully deployed across
its entire mainline fleet by first quarter of next year. The agreement
adds potentially 58 million passenger trips annually to the GuestLogix
network.
"We look forward to working with US Airways to provide convenience to
not only its passengers but its flight attendants as well," said Tom
Douramakos, President and CEO of GuestLogix. "Our platform is designed
to help operators innovate their on-board retail programs,
differentiate their offerings, and securely transact virtually any
payment option in-flight." The GuestLogix devices will allow US Airways
flight attendants to record cash and complimentary items, print
receipts and automate inventory tracking.
